Chapter 654 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
After saying that his mother wouldn't let him come home for summer vacation, Bai Chengci was quiet for a while.
Because it was so quiet, Jiang Xiyu finally looked up at him.
Bai Chengci's hand holding the phone fell to her side, as did her eyes.
Because he was backlit, the expression on his face inexplicably appeared dim, as if he were disappointed.
Although there was no expression on his face, Jiang Xiyu inexplicably sensed that he was very sad.
Therefore, he stared at Bai Chengci for quite a while.
Bai Chengci's voice weakened: "Sure enough, even if I never go home, they won't care."
After saying that, he looked up and met Jiang Xiyu's gaze, then answered to himself, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Who asked you?
Jiang Xiyu looked away indifferently, thinking to herself, "As expected, children from wealthy families are indeed less attached to family." But money and love, having one isn't so bad, is it? Why pretend like this?
Jiang Xiyu then sneered, "Your parents aren't home, and your house isn't going to run away."
Bai Chengci thought for a moment and said, "It's so cold. I live alone and I'm very scared."
Jiang Xiyu laughed speechlessly: "If I believed you would be scared, I'd rather believe that pigs can fly."
"..." Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and said, "I like your home. It's small and cozy to live in."
Jiang Xiyu: "My family is small?"
They say it's cozy, but then they say it's small.
It's not small at all; he bought this apartment for a seven-figure sum.
Jiang Xiyu said unhappily, "If you think it's too small, then go back."
Bai Chengci changed her tune without hesitation, a smile playing on her lips: "It's not small. Because you and my sister are here, I feel very safe and not afraid."
Upon hearing Bai Chengci say with a blank expression that she was afraid, Jiang Xiyu almost laughed.
"How old are you? Still pretending to be scared? Do you expect your parents to hold you and let you sleep every day when they come home?"
Bai Chengci remained silent for a moment, then shook her head, looked into Jiang Xiyu's eyes and said, "I want you to hold me while I sleep."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly remembered how she slept last night.
If the room hadn't had the air conditioning on, he would have died of heatstroke last night.
Bai Chengci even said that she was a good sleeper, but in the middle of the night she kept snuggling into his arms, which actually woke him up from his sleep because of the heat.
Upon thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu's face turned cold, and she raised her hand to slap Bai Chengci's outstretched hand.
Bai Chengci's hand was slapped, her fingertips curled up, and she had no choice but to silently put it back.
Jiang Xiyu warned, "Behave yourself."
Bai Chengci simply said "okay".
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to talk to him anymore, but Bai Chengci kept staring at her.
Those eyes seemed glued to his face. Jiang Xiyu couldn't stand it anymore and snapped at him, "Can't you find something to do? Why are you staring at me like that?"
“I don’t know what to do…” Bai Chengci said, her eyelashes drooping slightly, “I think you are very beautiful…”
"..."
Jiang Xiyu couldn't stay in the living room any longer, so she got up and headed towards the bedroom.
Bai Chengci made a move to follow him, but Jiang Xiyu turned around in time and said, "Sit there. You dare to come in and try."
Bai Chengci pursed her lips and didn't move.
The bedroom door was slammed shut from the inside.
Bai Chengci watched silently for a while, then the corners of her lips slightly curved upwards.
The last time he came here, he didn't really take a good look at the apartment's layout.
Now that Jiang Xiyu had locked him out of the bedroom, Bai Chengci took the opportunity to look around the apartment's layout.
It was indeed very heartwarming.
There are also flowers growing on the balcony, which shows that the owner has taken good care of them.
Jiang Xiyu seems to be able to do everything; she can cook and clean at home.
When he's out and about, he races cars, mixes bars, boxs... it's like he can do anything.
Thinking of this, Bai Chengci's lips curved into a deeper smile.
……
Over there, Xu Yunzhi sobered up and realized that she had said things she shouldn't have while drunk. She immediately washed up and went to Bai Chengci's house.
When they arrived, they didn't see Bai Chengci, but only his mother.
When Cen Yi saw him coming, she greeted him warmly, "Xiao Yun, Auntie hasn't seen you in so long."
When Xu Yunzhi saw Bai's mother, she was not as nervous as when she saw Bai's father. Instead, she smiled and politely said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm here to see Brother Cheng Ci."
Cen Yi walked up to him, and when she heard that he had come to see her son, she sighed and said, "Then you've come at the wrong time. My son didn't come home last night."
Xu Yunzhi let out a surprised "Ah".
He was playing with Cheng Ci last night, but Cheng Ci left first, so Xu Yunzhi assumed he had gone home.
Cen Yi asked gently, "Is there something you need from him?"
Xu Yunzhi remembered what she was going to say and immediately shook her head: "No, I just wanted to ask Cheng Ci to go out and have fun together."
Cen Yi said, "Oh, I see. He's at his friend's house right now. He slept at his friend's house yesterday too. You two always get along well, so you should know which friend it is. If you want to find him, you can go to my son's friend's house."
Xu Yunzhi was stunned.
friend?
Does Cheng Cige have any other friends?
Without much thought, Xu Yunzhi figured out who this so-called friend was.
The only thing that could keep Cheng Ci Ge from going home all night is probably that scumbag guy he told her he liked last time.
This scumbag, who only hooked up with Cheng Ci Ge but never actually dated him, actually managed to trick Cheng Ci Ge into coming to his house this time.
A series of unpleasant associations immediately flashed through Xu Yunzhi's mind.
Could it be that Cheng Ci Ge was deceived both emotionally and physically by that scumbag?
Thinking of this, Xu Yunzhi's expression immediately became complicated.
Seeing his troubled expression, Cen Yi asked with some concern, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yunzhi thought to herself that she couldn't let her know about this, so she smiled and said to Bai's mother again, "It's okay, Auntie. I know that friend. I'll go find Brother Cheng Ci in a bit."
Cen Yi smiled and said, "Okay."
Xu Yunzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Auntie, did Brother Cheng Ci tell you where that friend lives?"
Cen Yi shook her head and replied, "No, they didn't say that."
Xu Yunzhi: "Okay, I'll call and ask later."
Cen Yi nodded, then suddenly said gently, "I heard from Zai that his friend treats him quite well. If you have the chance in the future, why don't you come to my house for dinner together?"
Xu Yunzhi gave an awkward smile and vaguely replied, "Then, Auntie, I'll be going now."
Cen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "So soon? Would you like some tea and snacks before you leave?"
"No need, I'll go find Brother Cheng Ci first," Xu Yunzhi declined, and politely said goodbye to Bai's mother, "Goodbye, Auntie."
After saying that, Xu Yunzhi turned and walked towards the door. As he walked, he took out his phone, trying to find Bai Chengci's WeChat and then call her.
Unexpectedly, I came across Bai Chengci's WeChat Moments.
Xu Yunzhi stopped abruptly as she walked towards the door.
Honestly, ever since WeChat came along, he has never seen Cheng Ci post anything on his Moments.
For the first ten years or so, this WeChat profile picture was always white. If he hadn't added a note, people would have suspected that it was a WeChat account that had been deleted. Later, at some point, Cheng Ci changed the profile picture to the pink one he has now, which often makes him mistake it for a girl's WeChat profile picture.
Xu Yunzhi exited and re-entered WeChat Moments several times before finally confirming that it was indeed Bai Chengci who posted it.
The post included two pictures: the first was of a bowl of clear soup noodles, and the second was of a potted plant. There was no caption on the post, just a simple heart emoji.
When Xu Yunzhi first saw the heart shape, she knew it was all over.
It seems that Cheng Ci-ge was really played by that scumbag.
Otherwise, why would he, who never posts on WeChat Moments, post something like this, complete with hearts...?
Once they left the area where the Bai family lived, Xu Yunzhi hurriedly made a voice call.
As soon as the call connected, Xu Yunzhi didn't ask him where he was directly. Instead, she told him that she had come to find him but he wasn't home.
“Brother Cheng Ci, Auntie said you’re at a friend’s house right now.”
Bai Chengci on the other end of the phone gave a faint "hmm" and said, "I'm at the house of the person I like."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
He didn't even need to ask; Cheng Ci seemed to have a mind-reading ability.
Xu Yunzhi clicked her tongue and asked again, "Brother Cheng Ci, did you go home with him last night?"
Bai Chengci: "Yes, he took me home on purpose."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
Upon hearing the word "deliberately," Xu Yunzhi felt that her guess was absolutely correct.
However, before he could ask if the other person had done anything to him, he heard the person on the other end of the phone calmly state: "He kissed me and did some intimate things with me... Do you think he likes me too?"
Xu Yunzhi: "?"
Xu Yunzhi: "!"
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
He didn't ask a single question, and Cheng Ci told him everything.
Xu Yunzhi found it increasingly strange, as if Cheng Cige had told him on his own initiative.
But they're good friends, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with telling myself this.
He must trust me to say that, Xu Yunzhi thought to herself.
Therefore, when he looked at Bai Chengci, whose tone suggested she was deeply in love, he felt even more furious at the scumbag's behavior of playing with other people's feelings in this uncertain relationship.
Cheng Ci is just too naive.
Does that mean I like you?
He clearly wants to sleep with you.
Just as Xu Yunzhi was heartbroken, Bai Chengci asked again, "Did you see my WeChat Moments?"
"..."
Xu Yunzhi said weakly, "I saw it."
Bai Chengci said, "He made it for me. He knew I couldn't eat spicy food, so he specially made this bowl for me. It's delicious."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
Destroy it, it's truly beyond saving.
Bai Chengci said, "You didn't know, did you? He can actually cook."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
How could I possibly know? I don't date scumbags.
Bai Chengci: "He even let me stay at his house for a few more days."
Seriously, it's rare for Cheng Ci to take the initiative to talk to him so much, but it turns out he's just infatuated.
Xu Yunzhi was almost numb from listening. Finally, after Bai Chengci finished speaking, she earnestly said, "Brother Chengci, listen to me, you really shouldn't live with him anymore, come back soon."
Bai Chengci: "Why?"
At this moment, Xu Yunzhi felt like her best friend who advised breaking up rather than getting back together, and she dryly advised, "He definitely just wants to sleep with you, he doesn't really like you. He doesn't even want to talk to you or take responsibility, which means he's not sincere towards you. You really shouldn't be fooled by his actions."
Some people are so easily swayed by love that they can be fooled by a bowl of porridge.
Who would have thought that one day, his noble and pure Cheng Ci Ge would be deceived by a bowl of noodles.
However, Bai Chengci simply repeated Xu Yunzhi's words in a calm voice: "Want to sleep with me?"
Xu Yunzhi said angrily, "That's right, he brought you home after you've been drinking. He knows exactly what he's thinking."
Bai Chengci fell silent for a moment.
Xu Yunzhi waited for a while, and when there was no sound from the other end of the phone, she picked it up and looked at it.
Once she confirmed the phone was still connected, the quieter it became, the more distorted Xu Yunzhi's thoughts became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it wouldn't work.
Such silence is tantamount to an admission.
However, Xu Yunzhi couldn't directly ask Cheng Ci if he had slept with that man, so she could only anxiously say, "Cheng Ci, where are you now? I'm coming to find you."
Bai Chengci declined calmly, "No need."
Xu Yunzhi tried to say something more: "Brother Cheng Ci, I..."
Bai Chengci quietly interrupted, "His house is a bit small, it's inconvenient for you to come."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
No, I came to find you, not to join you.
The air was deathly still for a few seconds.
Bai Chengci asked him, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Yunzhi's answer was rather weak: "No."
Bai Chengci: "I'm hanging up now. If there's anything, we'll talk when I get back."
Xu Yunzhi didn't react at all, and just said "oh" in response to his words.
After realizing what was happening, he hurriedly grabbed the phone and said, "Wait! Wait, Brother Cheng Ci, I have something to say?"
Bai Chengci didn't hang it up immediately, her tone slightly raised: "Hmm?"
Xu Yunzhi took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then asked somewhat nervously, "The last question... Brother Cheng Ci, are you a 1 or a 0?"
Bai Chengci paused for a moment, then asked calmly, "What is 1, and what is 0?"
He had no experience with the gay community and genuinely didn't know what 1 and 0 represented.
Before he met Jiang Xiyu, his life consisted almost entirely of studying.
In fact, Bai Chengci had no interest in anything.
Aside from complex studies that could immerse him slightly, nothing else seemed to capture his attention.
In Xu Yunzhi's eyes, Cheng Ci may look young, but she is actually older than an old person at heart.
Because he almost never goes online, doesn't play games, doesn't socialize, and doesn't date...
Well, now they want to talk, but the result is pathetic; they're being played like puppets.
Xu Yunzhi really couldn't bear it, but she had no other choice, so she tried to understand it from the perspective of body position.
He thought to himself, "Brother Cheng Ci is so aloof and handsome, a true prodigy, he must be a top."
So Xu Yunzhi stammered and explained, "1 is the one above 'um,' and 0 is the one below 'um'..."
Bai Chengci thought about it carefully.
Every time he and Jiang Xiyu were intimate, Jiang Xiyu was indeed on top of him.
Bai Chengci did try her best to put herself in a weaker position, suppressing his desire for control and being docile and obedient to him.
During the long wait, Xu Yunzhi's heart sank to the bottom.
Just as he was about to say forget it, he suddenly heard Bai Chengci reply in an almost indifferent, nonchalant tone: "Then I'm a 0."
Xu Yunzhi: "..."
